Guy was visiting a restaurant called the “Squeeze Inn” in Sacramento, CA where they made this delicious cheeseburger with cooked cheese hanging over the entire burger that was served in a regular size bun.

Ingredients:

Directions:

For the Burger: Remove the seeds from the jalapeno pepper (unless you like more heat). Dice the jalapeno pepper and garlic. In a medium size bowl, add the ground beef, diced jalapeno pepper and garlic. Then add the pepper and mix all of the ingredients together. Next, form the hamburger into patties.

In a small diameter size skillet, brown the hamburger patty on both sides. Before the hamburger patty is done, pile one cup of shredded cheese on top of the patty. Cover the pan with a lid. When the cheese has spread over the bottom of the pan and can be lifted up along with the patty, remove it from the pan and set aside while warming the buns.

For the Buns: Add the butter to a large skillet on medium heat. Put the buns in face down so that the inside of the bread gets covered with the butter. Cook until the inside of the buns are a golden-brown toasted color.

For the Crispy Cheese Burger Sliders: Set the crispy cheese burger on top of the bottom side of the bun. Add a touch of your favorite dressing (ranch, blue cheese, mayonnaise or whatever you like). Slice the avocado and tomato. Next, add a slice of tomato on top of the burger, and then the avocado, a dash of pepper, and a dash of salt. Lastly, add the top side of the bun to the crispy cheese burger.

Nancy, I love how these are made with the cheese melting in the pan to a lacy-crispiness – now that’s my kind of slider! I have featured this post in today’s Friday Food Fetish roundup. Let me know if you have any objections and thanks as ever for the inspiration…

Hi Wazan, the bread I used for the sliders were onion dinner rolls that I bought pre-made at Walmart. They taste great with a small burger because they’re soft and have just the right amount of onion on them. I wish I was a good enough baker to give you a recipe for them. But you’re giving me a good idea…I’m going to put this on my list of things to make and will post as soon as I do. Thank you and have a great rest of the weekend!

Hi Nancy, Im still waiting for the bread recipe. Please can you say what they spread on top of the bread , It is like onion and something else. how to take that shape and shiny look. I am from Sri lanka, I cant buy these things in our country. Please give a guide.

Hi Wazan, for this slider I used bread that is a called an “onion roll” or “onion bun”. I haven’t made these yet but just googled them on the internet and there are many recipes available. If you google “recipe for onion roll (or onion bun)” some of the pictures will be similar to the one that is shown for this Crispy Cheese Burger Slider post. Some of the recipes show that before putting the roll in the oven they brush the dough with butter or an egg wash (beaten eggs and a liquid such as water or milk) and then the bread is topped with bits of cooked, fresh, or dehydrated onions. The butter or egg wash is helpful so the bits of onion will stick to the top of the roll and have a shiny look after baking. Someday in the future I’m going to have to try making these. They sound so good!
